Version 1 released!

On August 7, 2017December 14, 2017 By repdevoLeave a comment

Our first version of the Reptile Development Database has been released. The database currently contains ~250 papers between 1974–2016 and will be updated regularly with new papers. It contains information on the impact of incubation temperatures on phenotypic development, but also contains sex ratio data, data containing moisture manipulations etc.

Riley

We are lucky to have a great team of collaborators working on the Reptile Development Database. Among them, Dr. Julia Riley spent hours and hours pouring through the database to move it closer to perfection and make it useful for other researchers.
